Saturday morning got up at 3:30 made the 1/2 hour drive to my hunting buddies house then made the 1 hour drive to our turkey hunting spot.Planned our strategy on the way down.These birds have been roosting on this ridge top every time we have been down there but they always had hens with them and the hens would take them away from us.So we decided I would set up on one end of the ridge and him the other and have a little turkey calling contest.Sure enough at the break of daylight one sounds off on the ridge.He gobbled at least 50 times on the roost.He finally flew down and I hear my buddy start to call so I start in calling real soft.This bird is gobbling his head off for twenty minutes then nothing he just shuts up.Then I see him 45yards in the winter wheat field to my right I try a few soft calls but he will not come any closer so I figure it is now or never raise the 835 up and boom dead bird. I get up and start out to him he jumps up and starts walking off he was hurt bad he is walking side- ways his head is tilted to the side.I pull my gun up and shoot again miss him completely the second shot well I only had three shells so I tell myself this one has to count shoot again he goes down and does not move.So my 07 turkey season is over I would like to thank Vector Calls and Poor Valley.I used Vector slate With my Poor Valley hickory striker to call this bird in.Bird stats 11.5in beard1in spurs 22lbs [
